I?m unaware if Smallville and One Tree Hill producer Brian Robbins had an opinion about Lake Superior State?s annual List of Banished words or the lexicographical legitimacy of ?awesome? before today, but he now has at least 3.5 million reasons ?awesome? and all its derivatives should continue to be used at least by internet connected teens and tweens around the globe.

YouTube channel AwesomenessTV (which is part of the $100 MIllion YouTube Originals Initiative) just closed a $3.5 million Series A investment round led by MK Capital (which also recently invested in Machinima.com), with contributions from Greycroft Venture Partners (which semi-recently invested in YouTube network Maker Studios) and New World Ventures (which recently invested in YouTube network BigFrame), as well as media and tech execs Dean Gilbert, Machinima.com CEO Allen DeBevoise, Matt Coffin, Jeremy Zimmer, and Michael Kassan. AwesomenessTV?s YouTube channel currently boasts 86,000+ subscribers and 12+ million video views (with a current rate of somewhere in the ballpark of 200,000 views per day) across 160+ uploads among the following content offerings
